The Florida Panthers have yet to win a game on the still-young season but have collected points in half of them. After tonight’s matchup, they’ll head back to the BB&T Center to host the also-winless Detroit Red Wings in a one-game homestand.
The Capitals have jumped out to a 3-2-1 record after six games in their defense of the Stanley Cup. This is the final game of their three-game homestand.
They split the first two, with a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday and a 4-3 overtime win against the New York Rangers on Wednesday.
